$60 million for strategic investment areas, $22 million for Vision Zero, $50 million for sidewalks, $10 million for bicycle facilities, $2 million for a new orphan roads program, and $100 million to deliver seven mobility projects by 2030.

Uh, in addition, the budget also includes, uh, 20, uh, 27 general fund for financial partners, Carolina youth, uh, community culinary school, crisis assistance, housing, collaborative parent, child roof above, et cetera.

Uh, obviously there's always more projects than funds, and there were several projects that we were not able to find, um, the greater enrichment program.

for the struggle hard for the invisible just do it movement as well as others did not meet are not included in this fiscal 27 budget the committee the council has agreed to revisit our process for how we review financial partners moving forward and so we will take that into consideration as we move forward to distinguish and to discern how we will

work with and improve the process or amend the process if necessary for nonprofit organizations seeking support from the city.

This is a good budget.

It's not a perfect budget, but it reflects the values of our community and investments in public safety and investments in housing, neighborhood development, core services that our community demands of us

And I just refer the budget to you and thank the manager and staff for its preparation.

Thank you, Madam Mayor, and I'm not going to belabor it.

I think you've heard from our colleagues who share why this budget was so important to them, and we truly know the impact it has on our citizens.

So I am just going to highlight first, I'm going to start off by saying thank you to the city manager and to the budget team.

Council Member Ash, Mayor Point, we challenge you more than one time to go back to sharpen your pencil so we can make sure we have the minimum impact we can have to our citizens.

So to that I say thank you.

To our CMPD and fire department, I think this reflects our priorities.

by giving you the 10% raise for both departments.

And I have to thank my colleagues.

We put some new this year with business district organization.

Council Member Graham, Council Member JD, Council Member Mayo, and Council Member Anderson.

And so to my colleagues, this council, $600,000 will be going to our business district organization.

So thanks to all.
